how good is Benq

[serjer]

hi
just a simple question
how good are Benq's cd-rw?
i know that lite-on is the preferred one here,but anybody wanting to share his/her views on Benq's product?
regards

 

[scarecrow]

BenQ, formerly known as Acer makes some cheap and cheerful drives which are not raally worth looking at.
Either Lite-On or Hitachi/Lucky Goldstar are the sane choices.

 

[woody]

Agreed..I would stay clear of them.

 

[X-BoNeS-X]

yep I agree too .. got ACER (Benq) 12x .. it is POS .. makes coasters like there going outta fashion .. got Liteon 24x prefer to use that .. not one coaster yet ..

thx
but compared to samsungs ,what do u guys think?better or worse?
from where i live,benq & samsungs are most dominant and also among the cheapest writers.
liteon products :nearly non existant

regards

serjer I would go for the Samsungs not used any myself but they use to use their chip-set in Ricoh burners, and Ricoh burners used to B good. Just on that info alone or look at it as life of death.....Samsung hands down...

 

[serjer]

thx for the info
i'll now know what to buy after my Hp draws its last breath

One if your old enough and hold a cc (credit card) could you not get mayB a lite-on from the web?

Shure about that,m8?
A lot of brands use LiteOns to rebadge.......tell us wich sort of burners are available where you live,and we probably can tell you if it's a rebadged LiteOn...

unfortunately no cc, & i'm finance restricted ...until i get a job & start working

Shure about that,m8?

mmm yeah...if u go to store X or Y or hypermarket Z,u will find mostly benq,samsung and in some stores asus ,sony,creative
as for liteon,it's very very rare,and if u could get one,it'll be more expensive...
moreover,from where i come,very few ppl know the existance of liteon

 

[Seb]

Yeah, xcept mi...LOL
Hey, y not try ordering 1 litey from professionalcomputers?

 

[roadworker]

sony,creative

Both of these can be rebadged LiteOns,dude!!

 

[Seb]

That creative we have here?
Nah, no way...
I prefer by far my HP.
It has a ricoh chipset in it...

 

[serjer]

Hey, y not try ordering 1 litey from professionalcomputers?

their price are quite high & has to wait for some time...they normally do not have it in stock,as from what i've heard ,but if they have an order,they will place an order and then u will get ur desired product.

I prefer by far my HP. It has a ricoh chipset in it...

u're lucky..mine i think is a sony

 

[Seb]

LOL
Depends on ur luck bud...

The prob with samsung is that it heats too much.
Hmmm, guet fen si li pena yammie...

If you reside in the States or Canada, buy a Memorex burner (available anywhere). They are Lite-On drives, and they can be flashed with Lite-On firmware.

very true from what i've heard,unless i manage to get 2 fans around it,top bottom

z0z3kl :did u know that for instance an asus burner 48x16x48 is cheaper than liteon 48x12x48 @professionalcomputers?

i reside on a lost island in the middle of an ocean
nopes no memorex,although i know it's quite good.the only memorex stuff i have is a cdrw cdplayer(got as a gift)
moreover,memorex i guess is in the same boat as liteon from where i come,i.e nearly never heard of

@Serjer
I know bud. But remember, the asus drives are crappos
